Canon City 6-year-old suspended for kissing girl

CANON CITY - A 6-year-old boy in Canon City has been suspended from school for kissing a classmate.

School administrators accuse the boy of sexual harassment and want it on his school record.

The boy's mother says her son was suspended once before for kissing the girl and had disciplinary problems, but this is taking it too far.

She says her son is now asking what sex is.

"She was fine with it," the mother said. "They are boyfriend and girlfriend. The other children saw it and went to the music teacher. That was the day that I had the meeting with the Principal, where she first said sexual harassment. This is taking it to an extreme that doesn't need to be met with a 6-year-old."

The school district says because the boy has a history of the same type of behavior it falls under sexual harassment, and their primary goal is to make the child change his behavior.
